And this is just a small sampling of the problems that Facebook, Twitter, and other online media pose to the people that use them without exercising caution.

People have always complained, whined, and had opinions that were less than savory, but not been arrested for them before. Other people write things all the time that borderline on insanity.

What is the big deal?

People forget the kind of day and age that we live in, one where common sense frequently does not reign supreme. Some people are legitimately victimized, don't get me wrong.

Oftentimes, the people that make these posts - whether it be a violent threat, a stupid remark, or a harsh criticism - do not think before they post about what they are actually saying. But sometimes there are also just people that will easily get offended.

There may be people watching your every online move.

With internet posts - whether it be a tweet on Twitter, a status update on Facebook, even a picture shared via Flickr or a video on YouTube - people get caught up in the perceived anonymity of the internet.

You are behind a screen, yes. No one (with the exception of stupid photos posted) can see your face, fine. But remember the premise of "social networking" - it's designed to let your world know what you are up to.
